A Great Place to Call Home

At The University of Scranton, while receiving an excellent education, you will be able to immerse yourself in the American culture, finding a place to call your home away from home.

Scranton is the sixth-largest city in Pennsylvania and a vibrant college town, home to five colleges and universities.

Known as the Electric City — we were the first U.S. city to have an electric-powered streetcar — Scranton today finds its energy from many other sources, namely our popular coffeehouses, eateries, festivals, minor-league sports teams and a well-known Office, Dunder Mifflin, from the hit television series The Office.
